dc3c46 Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Every time I pick up a different guitar, the guitar seems to tell me what to play by how it sounds and feels. It is as if each instrument has a mind of its own and shares ideas with me through it's tone. I may be a little crazy sounding but I'll bet others feel this from their different models also or they would only have one guitar. I also have to adjust a little from one make to the next but it is a minor adjustment. All guitars talk to us if we listen. +1 Yhat's the reason why I have different guitars. Each of them makes me play different and each has its own voice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie brown Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 I don't know....I seem to play (all) my guitars, in various "moods," as much as for any particular "type" of music, that might be suited more, for one or another. Example: I can play my Telecaster, for weeks at a time, for all our songs. Other times, I use a Strat, or a Gibson, Gretsch, Ric, Epi...whatever. Sometimes, I change around, a LOT. Other times, hardly at all. So...??? CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WahKeen Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 As much as I love all my Gibson's...I'll never (willingly) sell my Strats, or Telecasters! In fact, I took one of my Tele's, to our rehearsal, tonight. Sounded awesome, both "clean," and overdriven! There's good reason, and room, for both! I switch back and forth, enough, between (several) brands, that knob placement, scale, and string spacing is not what I'd call a problem, really...just a minor "adjustment," for me. CB +1 Less than half a cm difference is not what I'd call a problem either way, like I said. Especially being pracrically the same as the strings go up in my Strat. I like them both.

Zeppelinguy Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 I enjoy playing Fenders on occasion, I just prefer the feel of Gibsons. But I suppose that bias is simply the result of familiarity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martinh Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 I also have the "volume control" problem with Strats. I think its a common problem for players who, like me, rest the heel of the hand on the back edge of the bridge a lot, That position tends to line the fingertips right up with the volume knob. If I'm using a Strat on the rare occision when I venture on stage nowadays, I have to wedge something ( a thick pick or a plastic washer ) underneath the volume knob. Otherwise I find myself getting quieter and quieter as a song progresses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
